While it’s not known at the time if the driver was drunk, a truck has destroyed Chef Pellegrino’s restaurant in Henderson. Bratalian Restaurant, which is coined as “a Traditional Italian dishes served in an intimate dining room with quirky, hanging laundry décor,” will be closed for the near future because of this.
The Chef wrote on Facebook: “A day of sadness and destruction BRATALIAN Restaurant, a truck lost direction and drove right inside my dining room, leaving behind a track of damages to my restaurant and to our lives. I will work hard to be able to comeback to business ASAP…. More info to come as soon as I get them”
The LVRJ described the restaurant as:
“…people an authentic taste of Italy. Beyond the menu, Bratalian is decorated as though people were sitting in the streets of Italy. Inside, there are clotheslines that hang above the entrance with shirts, skirts and pants hanging from them, giving an authentic feel of what an Italian neighborhood might look like.
Like the decor, the menu’s flavors are similarly authentic. Pellegrino has even put her own spin on brunch favorites, with items such as the chicken breast cordon blu and waffles, featuring a breaded chicken breast stuffed with Swiss cheese and ham, fried in clarified butter over freshly made buttermilk and cream waffles and topped with Vermont maple syrup, Chantilly cream and fresh fruit salad for $15; spaghetti cabonara frittata, a flat Italian omelet with DeCecco spaghetti, pancetta, smoked Provolone and Roman Pecorino for $14; and the Mediterranean omelet with egg whites, tomatoes, spinach, champignon mushrooms and feta cheese for $11.
We wish the Chef and her restaurant good luck and a speedy recovery.
